Such a combination gives students the breadth and depth necessary for pursuing careers in academics as well as in industry.The residence requirements for M. Tech programme is four semesters. However, it is possible to get permission to spend one semester elsewhere.

The maximum time one can spend in the M. Tech programme is three years.

We also have a part-time M. Tech programme for working professionals. These students will register for six semesters. It is possible to convert one's status from full-time to part-time and vice-versa.The Institute requirement for M.
